    I expected peters to be a backup and help the young’ns, instead they started him and he has played like he just wants a check and can’t wait to go home and play call of duty or some shit

    As if they’re expected to beat the Chiefs lol wtf

    I don’t know if he’s the right guy yet or ready for it but the Raiders show a hell of a lot more fight with him

    I mean they went toe to toe with Miami in Miami last week

    Loved Peters as a Raven. Loved his attitude. However, when his not locked in and motivated I wouldn’t want him anywhere near my team.

      I have to assume you haven’t spent more than 10 minutes watching any of our games. He literally runs away from tackles and plays like 20 yards off the line of scrimmage. He’s good for a splash play once in a blue moon but his best years are long, long gone unfortunately.

      It’s gonna be so funny this off-season when Brandon Staley gets retained as head coach for 2024.

      I was kind of sad we let Peters go and was coping by saying RYS was the younger/more physical/upside replacement. RYS was benched yesterday for a guy we signed late training camp so that didn’t even work out too well (don’t know if his hammy is affecting him in game tho).

        I wasn’t sad to see him go after he (allegedly) tried to get into a fist fight with our coaching staff. Dude’s talented as hell, but his brain is currently orbiting Mars and we don’t know if he plans on coming back.

      Can’t wait to see what team picks him up next to hype up their fanbase only for him to suck like always. Or have we done this enough times to admit that Marcus Peters sucks outright now?

    Peters still has some ballhawk in him, but he will do everything in his power to not make a tackle or even pretend to look interested in making a tackle. The amount of times he’s just casually thrown an arm in the general direction of a ballcarrier has been infuriating, and obviously, as a firey defensive minded-coach, it would drive AP nuts.

    I hope Mark gives Pierce a shot at head coach. The NFL is better when the Raiders are contenders.

    Oh no, 2-2 from an interim coach after playing one of the best teams in the AFC? Heaven forbid!

    People need to chill on this nonsense, Pierce looks in command of this team and turning it around, and most of the dudes seem ready to play for him, except Peters, and Peters coulodn’t even give 100% to Andy Reid years ago, so that’s certainly not a knock on PIerce.

    I honestly think Vegas has a coach and it might be a travesty to look past him IMO.

      One of the most infuriating things about fans, especially many that frequent the subreddits, is that the opposing teams aren’t allowed to play well - if your team loses it can’t possibly just because this season, you came up against a better team or a team further along in their rebuild and compete window… No it’s a sign that drastic change is needed.

        Our sub is a cesspool but I will say, seems like the common consensus is that the fans are bullish on AP. General feeling is that he should be the HC, but needs to find a good OC.

      Fellow Chiefs fan. I agree with everything. I’d hate the raiders to have success but that’s a Dan Campbell type coach they got in Pierce and he should definitely stay.

      Raiders will obviously fire him for someone worse just like they did with Bisaccia

        Bisaccia was not the right choice. That was a magical comeback season but there’s a reason he went right back to being an obscure special teams coach.

        Pierce on the other hand I could see being hired if we finish the season decently.

      The other loss was to the Dolphins as well. I like Pierce but he’s been outmatched at HC and his in-game decisions and management have been very questionable. He’s learning on the fly so that’s to be expected. Theoretically he would continue to learn the in game nuances a HC needs to know in the offseason and with further experience.

      I’d say the only real coach I have I’d hire above him would be Ben Johnson of the Lions, if we can’t snag him I hire Pierce full time.

      Lol yeah people got hyped when they beat the Jets and Giants at home. All of a sudden Pierce is bad now that they’ve lost consecutive games to the Dolphins Chiefs.

      I only watched the first quarter of the game, but the Raiders looked radically different. They came to play and they looked like they were giving the Chiefs their best shot.

    If they get rid of AP they’re making a huge mistake, that team can handle losses when their coach actually gives a shit about the players and is seemingly doing a pretty good job running the ship. I’d at least give it a full season.

    Raiders need a dude who’s gonna change the culture. They need someone to get rid of the cycle of suck, and at minimum they look like they’re trying with Pierce
